Yeast.
A leavening agent causes the baked good to rise by producing and/or trapping hot gas within the batter.
The function of a leavening agent in cooking helps to tenderize the ingredients. The ingredients get softer the longer they soak with the leavening agent.
The function of leavening agents is to cause the baked goods (breads, cakes, etc.) to rise. There are different types of leavening agents, such as yeast, baking powder and baking soda. Eggs are also sometimes used as a leavening agent, especially in some pound cake recipes. Without leavening, the baked goods will not only be flat, but won't taste as good, either.

Leavening agent is important in baking due to the rising qualities of the baked item and the crumb quality of the finished result. Not adding enough makes for a really puffed up result, and too little results in a baked rock.
Baking soda is used in food as a leavening agent, which helps baked goods rise and become light and fluffy. It reacts with acidic ingredients in the recipe to create carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough or batter to expand. Additionally, it can help neutralize acidic flavors and contribute to a golden brown crust on baked goods.
Calcium disodium, specifically calcium disodium EDTA, is not a leavening agent. Leavening agents, such as baking soda or baking powder, help baked goods rise by producing gas during the baking process. Calcium disodium EDTA is primarily used as a preservative and chelating agent in food and pharmaceuticals, rather than for leavening.
It's when you use more than one type of levening agent. Like baking powder and baking soda. Each one causes the baked goods to rise in a different way.
Only if they have another leavening agent such as yeast, baking soda, or cream of tartar.
No, mayonnaise is not a leavening agent. Leavening agents, such as baking soda or yeast, are substances that cause dough or batter to rise by producing gas. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and vinegar or lemon juice, primarily used for flavor and texture in dishes, rather than to create lift or volume in baked goods.
Baking Power is a leavening agent that through a chemical process releases gas into the batter that causes "bubbles" (gas pockets of carbon dioxide) to form and thus creates loft (the "rise") the baked goods. In this case, pancakes.
No, baking soda is just sodium bicarbonate, a leavening agent that reacts with salt and water to form gas and rise your baked products.
